Buckaroo Banzai is my new hero.

Monday night the ever so wonderful NetFlix delivered a movie I’ve been dying to see, Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension. I had read a little about this movie and it sounded like something straight up my alley.  The story, obviously, revolves around our central character Buckaroo Banzai, played by Robocop himself Peter Weller.

Buckaroo is [...]

Who can rock harder than the Doctor?

If this video is any evidence it would be “no one.”  Matt Smith took the stage at this years Glastonbury festival and rocked out his own version of the classic Doctor Who theme song.  Phenomenal, is there really anything the Doctor can not do?

A Farewell to Lost

This Sunday marks the 2 1/2 hour series finale of Lost.  Back in season 1 and 2, so long ago, I had built a strong apprehension to a network television show that was all about twist and turns and unanswered questions.  After I learned that they had a story in mind, with a defined ending, [...]

The Eleventh Hour

The Eleventh Hour was the newest episode of the ever so classic television series Doctor Who. In this episode we were introduced to the newest Doctor, his new companion and a new TARDIS. In all honesty I was kind of expecting this to be a ho-hum episode, as the End of Time felt [...]

Handling the Undead

So I recently finished Handling the Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist; author of Let the Right One In. If are not familiar with Lindqvist work he tends to take traditional horror subjects and places them into a personal setting. My reaction to this style has been one of personal interest into the characters [...]

Moon

Moon was released on Blu Ray today. This is a great example of where a science fiction idea is turned into something that questions the nature of reality and existence. I won’t spoil the twist for those of you who haven’t seen it, with that I implore you to seek this movie out. [...]
